Kangaroos hopping through snow seems like a scene straight out of an Australian-themed Christmas film — but it’s far from fiction.
Amazing footage of a group of kangaroos hopping through the snow was captured by Stephen Grenfell who filmed the animals from his car and posted a video online over the weekend.
“Not something you see every day in Australia. Kangaroos in the snow,” he wrote.
